# Usage
Every lain widget is a table.
A lain widget is generated by a `function`.
The `function` signature, input and output arguments can be found in the [related wiki entry](https://github.com/lcpz/lain/wiki/Widgets#index).
Every lain widget contains a `wibox.widget`, which is updated by a timed function. To access the widget, use the field `widget`, while to access the timed function, use the field `update`. Some lain widgets may also have an `icon` field, which is a `wibox.widget.imagebox`, and/or a `timer` field, which is the `gears.timer` on `update`.
Every `function` may take either a table or a list of variables as input.
If the input is a table, you must define a function variable called `settings` in it. There you will be able to define `widget` appearance.
For instance, if `widget` is a textbox, to markup it call `widget:set_markup(...)` within `settings`.
In the scope of `settings` you can use predefined arguments, which are specified in the wiki entries.
Example of a lain widget:
```lua
local cpu = lain.widget.cpu {
settings = function()
widget:set_markup("Cpu " .. cpu_now.usage)
end
}
-- to access the widget: cpu.widget
```
